Playing Pirate Galaxy and enjoying the visuals, combat, and interactivity as a whole, I just have to wonder aloud. "Is this really java?"
I'm a gamer that's been around the block plenty of times, when I think of a game written in Java, I picture a low quality trash game with plastic music, poor animation, and an embarassing community. When I played Pirate Galaxy for the first time, I almost crapped my pants.
The communication does not suffer from delays, the visuals both in combat and off combat are stunning, combat itself can get pretty intense, PvP is on a fair flag basis (save for Conquest and certain systems), the music completely fits the environments, and the community isn't (entirely) full of scrubs!
I respectfully assume that Split Screen Studios busted some serious balls to make this game. This is (pun coming) light-years above and beyond my norm of Java games. I just wonder, why are there only four servers? Spread the word on the street, start a cult, pass out flyers.....which reminds me, does anybody know if there is any Pirate Galaxy merchandise? Hats, T-shirts, Hoodies, Keyboards, Mousepads, Posters, that sort of thing?
